Four men arrested for selling drugs near churches, school

EUSTIS — Four men were arrested after an "extensive" investigation revealed they were selling drugs from a home a few blocks away from several churches and an elementary school, police said.

Detectives executed a search warrant last week at the Clifford Avenue home and found marijuana, methamphetamine and an "electric weapon." Police said they also found money and other materials used to sell drugs. Officers arrested Benjamin Blunt Jr., 32; Mario Gray, 30; Dominic Dobson, 26; and Michael Mulhern, 30, who were booked into the Lake County Jail. They face numerous charges including possession of meth, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a church and tampering with evidence.

Leesburg police's SWAT team and narcotic officials with the Lake County Sheriff's Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration assisted in the bust.
